The big "Holiday Spectacu-LARD" and 2013 Mixtape happened yesterday. It was a really long radio show, and probably the last one I'll be doing on WXCI for a while. Unfortunately, this also signals yet another hiatus for Late Night Noise... And this hiatus will likely be a lot longer than the previous ones. (The last Late Night Noise was November 25, 2013. We may be picking it back up at some point mid-2014.)

Matt Robidoux made his 2nd appearance on Late Night Noise (or maybe 3rd, we forgot). Matt is the proprietor and CEO of Hidden Temple Tapes and guitar shred-dude in bands such as Speedy Ortiz, Pony Bones and Banjo Assault.
And also Steve Hartlett made a quick appearance as well. Steve is the main shred dude in Ovlov who just recently shot a video (which should be posted next week) and appeared on Serious Business.

Wesley Willis “Jesus Is the Answer”
Lowt Ide (5 songs from the forthcoming LP “Tag Sale” .. they are as yet unreleased and untitled, and were also ummastered at the time of broadcast, but we were very excited about receiving them early so they got some airplay. The album is supposedly set to include 26 songs and will be out in February 2014.)

Back in January, Late Night Noise featured a very special edition of the show with guest-host Curt Wargo along with special guest Kitty Foster. We had some trouble uploading the show ourselves for streaming, but it was recently made available through Mixcloud.

I haven't been able to DJ since 6 weeks ago, but some fellow WXCI buds have graciously offered their services to keep Late Night Noise happening throughout the summer. In fact, the show is on the air right now!

We should have a playlist up soon. In the meantime, listen in at WXCI.Org and on 91.7FM!

For various reasons (including summer school, a busy work schedule, and the past several weeks of inadvertent restriction to WXCI's studio offices), Late Night Noise has been on hiatus for the past 4 Mondays, which was not planned at all.

In addition to this, there was a planned hiatus scheduled for all of July and the first 2 Mondays of August. However, instead of keeping the show off the airwaves entirely, we'll be doing our best to locate substitute DJs who might be able to fill in for us on Mondays over the summer, and we also might be able to plan out a few pre-recorded shows for the summer as well.

We don't normally do this, especially over the air since WXCI has bizarre and ever changing restrictions about "advertising" for upcoming shows. However, this blog is not broadcast over the air, and I'm pretty sure the staff of Late Night Noise is okay with personally endorsing two really huge shows coming to New Haven within the next week...

Monday March 25 at Fort Flesh:
Spelling Bee (from St Louis, MO)
Arvid Noe (from Boston, Mass)
2 Ton Bug (formerly from New Haven, now from Brooklyn, unless we're mistaken)
Old Man Lady Luck (from New Haven)
Tomb and Thirst (from New Haven)
...and featuring hosts and MC's Lowt Ide (described by at least 3 people as "the best thing to ever come out of Trumbull" which means that at least 3 people think Lowt Ide is better than The Vinnie Vincent Invasion)

Fort Flesh is quickly becoming one of the premiere house spaces in New Haven. (We were there a few weeks ago for Pile, Sperm Donor, Fax Holiday, Ovlov, Speedy Ortiz and Ports of Spain - possibly the best house show we've ever seen in New Haven.) Monday's event is taking place at the same time as the next edition of Late Night Noise, and so we've decided to broadcast from this event. If you can't make it out to the show, at least Late Night Noise will still be amazing, and we'll be playing songs from all the bands n stuff.

Again, we don't normally endorse shows this much, but we'd be lying if we weren't pumped as fuck about this show coming to Connecticut... Check out music from any/all of these bands whenever you get a few minutes.

Good Throb "Culture Vulture"
The pop Group "Thief of Fire"
The Pop Group "We Are Time"
The Pop Group "Savage Sea"
Rocket From The Tombs “30 Seconds over Tokyo” (incorrectly announce as Boris)
Funkadelic "Wars of Armaggedon"

One of the most beloved WXCI shows of all time is unfortunately no longer with us. "90's Throwback" will be sorely missed. For those who don't remember, it was a show that graced WXCI's airwaves on Tuesday afternoons between June and December 2012. Here's a sampling of some of the playlists:

In all the MBV-mbv hubbub, this other important release may have been missed.

Yellow Loveless is a My Bloody Valentine tribute in the form of a track-by-track cover of the album Loveless, which you may have heard of, by some stellar Japanese bands, such as Tokyo Shoegazer, Shonen Knife, and of course the mighty BORIS as seen below. Look around for it I guess.

on this show we were joined by fellow WXCI homie Rich Kokinchak. this was Mike's first official Late Night Noise show since December 10th. (dec 17 was the "2012 mixtape" special... on dec 24 we re-aired the "late night noise xmas special" for like the 4th year in a row... dec 31 there was no show due to new years... and jan 7th curt wargo and catwoman filled in for us... hopefully we'll have some audio from the jan 7th show to post on our soundcloud account very soon.)

What's it?

This blog is associated with a radio program called LATE NIGHT NOISE which airs live on 91.7 WXCI in Danbury, CT Monday nights, normally from 10PM until 1AM (with a post-show of LNN mixes after 1AM). The show focuses within a broad range of experimental music, noisy music, weird music, and outsider artists.
